The structural materials used in airframe and propulsion systems
influence the cost, performance and safety of aircraft, and an
understanding of the wide range of materials used and the issues
surrounding them is essential for the student of aerospace
engineering.Introduction to aerospace materials reviews the main
structural and engine materials used in aircraft, helicopters and
spacecraft in terms of their production, properties, performance
and applications.
The first three chapters of the book introduce the reader to the
range of aerospace materials, focusing on recent developments and
requirements. Following these introductory chapters, the book moves
on to discuss the properties and production of metals for aerospace
structures, including chapters covering strengthening of metal
alloys, mechanical testing, and casting, processing and machining
of aerospace metals. The next ten chapters look in depth at
individual metals including aluminium, titanium, magnesium, steel
and superalloys, as well as the properties and processing of
polymers, composites and wood. Chapters on performance issues such
as fracture, fatigue and corrosion precede a chapter focusing on
inspection and structural health monitoring of aerospace materials.
Disposal/recycling and materials selection are covered in the final
two chapters.
With its comprehensive coverage of the main issues surrounding
structural aerospace materials, Introduction to aerospace materials
is essential reading for undergraduate students studying aerospace
and aeronautical engineering. It will also be a valuable resource
for postgraduate students and practising aerospace engineers.
